MRT’s Technology Line groups together activities that cover a large range on the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) scale, going up to industrial transfer. Currently, the Technology Line is comprised of the Advanced Instrumentation for Ion Nano-Analytics (AINA) group.

The AINA group focuses on the development of scientific instruments based on charged particle beams, covering fundamental investigations, instrument development and applications. Its targeted fields of application are nano-imaging and nano-analysis.

The team comprises specialists in nano-analytics, charged particle optics, ion-matter interactions and engineering (mechanical, electronic, and software), providing the AINA group with the complete spectrum of know-how required to convert innovative ideas and concepts into prototype instruments.

Our different research projects and technologies are performed in cooperation with leading international instrument manufacturers and with research groups specialized in the relevant fields.

info-MRT@list.luRDI PARTNERSHIP COORDINATIONMRT is organized to cooperate with industrial partners. It offers a large choice of project frameworks and services. Collaborative projects are set up by a dedicated team which has a scientific and industrial background. The RDI Partnership Coordination group is your contact:

NANOMATERIALS AND NANOTECHNOLOGYThe unit’s team of engineers, researchers and technologists combine their expertise to translate the enabling capabilities of nanotechnology/nanomaterials into application-driven solutions. Based on the thorough understanding of the properties of novel functional materials, the unit conducts research, development and innovation in the areas of:

u The activities focus on the elaboration and understanding of ferroic materials for transducers which is a device that convert one form of energy to another form of energy

u Transparent semiconductors and optically tuneable nanocomposites addressing the dynamic growth of invisible electronics or colour-based applications in the glass, display, sensor and consumer industries

u Nano-enabled advanced technologies for the medical and cosmetics industries including diagnostics, prosthetic devices and drug delivery systems

COMPOSITE MATERIALSThe mission of the unit is to study the behaviour of composite materials and to develop new environmentally friendly functional composites using a combined experimental (synthesis, processing and testing) and numerical (modelling) approach, in close collaboration with the composites industry and its suppliers.

The team focuses on two main areas:

u The design and durability of high performance and multi-functional polymer-based-composites

u Interface engineering: performance and durability are mainly driven by the quality of the interface between fillers/fibres and the polymer matrix.

The unit’s activities include research and development concerning:

u The design of multifunctional composites

u Bio-based composites

u Durability of composites

u Adhesion and compatibilization of fibres/matrix

u Complex architectures at the interface.

The Central Materials Laboratory develops cutting-edge expertise enabling the department’s objectives by focusing on:

u Thin film coating and engineering

u Polymer processing

u Synthesis of nano-structures, nano-particles and organic chemistry

u Prototyping, nanofabrication and functional measurements.

It benefits from the department’s expertise and equipment and is also open to collaborations with external partners.

CROSS-CUTTING SUPPORT & TAILORED SERVICESMRT offers a wide variety of expertise and equipment through its Central Materials Laboratory and its platforms for testing and advanced characterisation of materials.

From one-time analysis or testing needs to research contracts, we support RDI activities in the following areas:

u Synthesis of nano-structures, nano-particles and organic chemistry

u Prototyping/nanofabrication

u Electrical, dielectric and photoelectric characterisation

u Thin film processing, engineering and analysis

u Polymer processing and composite manufacturing

u Thermo-physical analysis: phase transitions, thermal diffusivity and conductivity, analysis of characteristic decomposition patterns, mechanical stiffness and damping, dilatometry

u Physical-chemical analysis: structure analysis, detection of trace elements, quantification of dopants, molecular analysis, elemental identification, quantification and distribution

u Surface analysis: morphology, topography, imaging, failure analysis, corrosion, contamination, depth profiling, surface chemistry

u Mechanical testing: impact, static and fatigue tests under severe temperature conditions, standard and customised testing

u Artificial accelerated aging: temperature, humidity and artificial light control, standard tests and tests combined with electrical and/or mechanical endurance

u Fire behaviour: smoke density and toxicity, ignition time, heat release.

Research units CENTRAL MATERIALS LABORATORYThe Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology’s (LIST) Materials Research and Technology (MRT) department, made up of around 150 collaborators, translates cutting edge materials research into applicable technology. For this, the department cultivates close relationships and joint projects with both academic and industrial partners, and contributes to Luxembourg’s and Europe’s innovation agenda in materials research.

Our research and technology activities target two main areas: nanomaterials and nanotechnology, and composite materials.

NANOMATERIALS AND NANOTECHNOLOGY

u Ferroic materials and transducers

u Transparent and optical tuneable electronics

u Nano-enabled medicine and cosmetics

COMPOSITE MATERIALS

u Bio-based and functional composites

u Adhesion and interface engineering

Further to this, a Central Materials Laboratory mutualises the department’s expertise and equipment in several crucial fields:

u Thin film coating and engineering

u Polymer processing

u Synthesis of nano-structures, nano-particles & organic chemistry

u Prototyping, nanofabrication and functional measurements.

The department is characterised by a young, engaged and international staff, who are open to new collective challenges and come from a variety of backgrounds: academic institutions, RTOs and industry. Chemists, physicists, materials and engineering scientists, and increasingly scientists with a background in life science, all shape the work at MRT. They work together in an interdisciplinary manner, both within the LIST departments and with actors from the Luxembourg public or industrial sectors.
